Just what is a best man anyway? Or more importantly, why did they pick you to be
the best man?
In most weddings, the Best Man is usually the husband’s best friend as opposed
to the Maiden of Honor, which is usually the wife’s best friend. There are
times; however, when this is not possible and some relatives are requested to
take over to complete the ceremony. These roles; however, are designated for the
people who know the husband and wife the best, for it is their duty to express
their support for the couple’s decision to start a new life together, and what
better way is there than to give a heartfelt speech for them.
And so we’ve come to the question of what a best man should say in his wedding
speech. One must always keep in mind that there are two objectives in making
this speech, the first one being a reminder to the groom how he came to be here
and to encourage him on what he needs to do, and the second as an invitation to
everyone to express their support for the bride and groom as well.
To accomplish these two, you must bring up pleasant memories the couples have
shared, how they’ve handled and endured the problems in their relationship, and
of course, what they mean to each other. This is why this task is meant for the
one closest to the groom, for he has witnessed how the couple’s relationship has
evolved. He knows how they’ve gone through the good and bad times, how time has
drawn them closer, and how things have led to their common choice of finally
settling down. He has to point out that their courtship has led to this very
moment because of their common desire for happiness, so there’s no room for
hesitation, only for learning.
Lastly, he should offer them his wishes so they
may start with new hope of good things to come.
